they turned to Donald Trump… and made him Boss. And they believe
that he'll fix everything, that racist woman-hater they made king. ~
Their savior Jesus Christ they have replaced… with someone crazy,
ignorant, and mean. It's sheer illusion that those folks have chased;
the truth in front of them they haven't seen. And so let's choose to
meditate and pray, and love the Lord, ourselves, our neighbors, too.
Dig, peace on Earth could start with us today, if we'll decide to
love… and follow through.</span></div>
